Hizb ut Tahrir: Protect the Honourable Women of Al-Sham

Hizb ut Tahrir Organises a Critical Women's Seminar:
"Hasten to Establish the Khilafah to Protect the Honourable
Women of Al-Sham"

Under the support of the eminent
scholar of Usool, skilled politician and prominent thinker
Ata Ibnu Khalil Abu Arrashtah, Amir of Hizb ut Tahrir, the
Hizb will hold a vital women's seminar on the 27th of April
2013 in Amman, Jordan to speak of the heart-breaking plight
that the women and children of Syria live and to present
effective solutions to bring an urgent end to the massacres
executed by the tyrants of Ash-Sham. This unique,
unprecedented event, entitled "Hasten to Establish the
Khilafah to Protect the Honourable Women of Al-Sham" is the
first high-profile women's only gathering aimed at focussing
world attention specifically on the horrendous scale of
suffering and brutality endured by Syria's women and
children at the hand of the mass-murderer Bashar Al-Assad
and his Kufr Ba'athist regime. The seminar will host a large
audience of journalists, distinguished influential women,
representatives of organisations, and will also invite
Syrian women from Jordan, including some from the Zaatari
refugee camp to attend. It will also consist of 3 main
talks, a video containing testimonies from Syrian women
regarding the tribulations and ordeals they have suffered, a
panel discussion with high-profile women from Hizb ut
Tahrir, and a press-conference.

The opening speech will be
from the Women's Section of the Central Media Office of Hizb
ut Tahrir that will highlight the failure to date of the
Muslim governments and international community to offer any
credible solution to bring an end to the living-hell that
the women of Syria have been subjected to under Assad. As
well as their initiatives and missions have simply bought
the Syrian regime time to pursue its campaign of terror and
slaughter and violate the honour of the noble women of
Al-Sham. The talk will emphasize that it is the Khilafah
system alone, based purely upon Islam, it is the only system
that views the life and dignity of women as priceless,
places the protection of their blood and honour as a
priority, and appreciates the heavy obligation of the state
to guard their safety without hesitation or delay. The
second talk will be delivered by a Muslim sister from Syria
who will provide detailed, graphic eye-witness accounts of
the abduction, torture, rape, and murder of women and
children at the hands of the merciless Syrian regime as well
as highlight the desperate situation in the Syrian refugee
camps where women and children battle for survival, living
in inhumane, appalling conditions. She will also emphasize
how the women of Al-Sham have been abandoned by the
heartless rulers of the Muslim world who have sat as idle
spectators to the killing fields next door without
mobilizing a single soldier in her defence. The final talk
will be delivered by a female member of Hizb ut Tahrir
Jordan who will raise a call to Muslims globally to increase
their efforts to establish the Khilafah urgently as well as
deliver a heartfelt appeal to the sons of the Muslim armies
to fulfil their great Islamic responsibility of defending
their sisters in Al-Sham without delay and to give the
Nusrah (material support) to Hizb ut Tahrir for the
establishment of this noble state that will bring the shade
of guardianship to the region under the Rule of Allah
(swt).

We call the media to attend this important and most
pressing of seminars that will not only provide a platform
for the heart-breaking stories, hopes and dreams of some of
the most vulnerable victims of this brutal conflict to be
heard but will present a sound vision to bring their
suffering to an end. The event will be streamed through the
live broadcast of The Central Media Office of Hizb ut
Tahrir.
